In the end, the regent was taken away amid insults.
"Bai Yanyuan, do you know what you are doing? I thought you were smart enough, but you are just a stupid dog! Do you think you will get what you deserve if you expose me? Think about what you have done. He is the emperor of the Heavenly Family, and he has suffered so much humiliation from you! How can I let you go? You are so stupid!"
But no one in the hall dared to answer.
Most of the officials in the court only want to judge the situation and bet on the right person, so that they can save their lives and their official positions. That's all.
Now that the Regent's defeat is certain, even the Prime Minister, who was previously tied to the same interest chain, has turned against him. Of course, they will no longer obey the Regent's orders.
Duan Changchuan found it very interesting, so he decided to share the happy event with other important officials before the Regent left.
"The Queen has been pregnant with the dragon heir for more than half a year. This November, my Datong will give birth to my first child since I ascended the throne."
The ministers shouted in haste, "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Your Majesty has a royal heir. Our Datong Empire will surely last for thousands of years!"
The voice was heard loudly outside the hall, and the straight shoulders of the man being guarded slumped for a moment.
…

After the important officials finished their meeting, they left one after another.
Only the two elders, Qian and Zheng, stayed behind, saying that they had something to say. Unexpectedly, the two elders stepped forward, one of them took out a transparent and bright peace locket from his bosom, and the other took out the jade pendant he carried with him and put it in Duan Changchuan's hand.
Lord Qian was filled with emotion: "I never thought that our queen would have a dragon heir so soon. This is such a great joy! This old minister doesn't have any gifts on him, so please keep the jade pendant first. I will search for it when I return home and bring it to you!"
Lord Zheng's eyes were red with excitement. "I only have this peace locket that I have worn for many years. I am giving it to your Majesty's little heir... If your Majesty does not despise me, and if I can still live to educate the little heir, I am willing to continue to serve you as a junior tutor! I have been an official for decades, and I have nothing... Only this body of ink can be of some use."
Duan Changchuan held the heavy jade pendant in his hand, and his eyes couldn't help but become sour.
"Please stand up quickly, both seniors. It is a blessing for me, the heir, and even the entire Datong to have you two gentlemen enlighten us on civil and military matters."
The two old men didn't know the real situation and kept patting their chests and sighing:
"Your Highness was clearly pregnant at the time, but she went to Huainan alone... Whenever I think of this, I feel scared..."
"Yeah, I won't take risks like this again... It's scary."
Duan Changchuan patiently nodded in agreement with them: "I only found out after I went to Huainan. I didn't tell you to avoid worrying me. After I came back, she felt sick and the Imperial Physician couldn't hide it anymore, so I told you. I will never let her take risks again in the future."
"The queen is a good person, and she is as good as any man."
The boy nodded with his lips curved: "Yeah."
…
-
The two elders were too enthusiastic and stayed in the palace for a long time. In the end, Duan Changchuan used the excuse that "the queen is still waiting for me in the back hall" to ask them to leave.
When he entered the courtyard where he had paid the money, he saw a woman in a bright red robe leaning against the window. When she saw him come in, she raised her lips and waved at him.
The boy obediently went over and leaned outside the window to talk to her.
"Your Majesty, did the meeting go smoothly today?"
The woman stretched out her arms and gently put them around his waist.
The young man nodded, his nose close to her neck: "It went very smoothly. I was often angered by my uncle before, but now I finally angered him. I feel very happy."
"Come in quickly, it's hot outside. The imperial kitchen has made some brown sugar tofu pudding, and it's still icy and delicious."
"Yeah, okay."
The five-month-old baby was not too noticeable because she was covered with clothes every day, but when she took off her outer robe and sat next to Bai Su, her belly became very noticeable.
Now, the boy was holding a small bowl of tofu pudding and eating it in small bites. The Alpha hugged him from behind and gently placed his palm on his lower abdomen.
With every breath, you can smell the sweet fragrance of tofu pudding and the elegant scent of peony.
Duan Changchuan put down the bowl, tilted his head to the side, and snuggled into Alpha's arms.
"Done, huh?"
Bai Su held his hand and rubbed it against her lips.
"Well... the baby is so big now."
"It's only been five months. It should be only slightly bigger than a fist in my belly."
As she spoke, she clenched his hand into a fist and wrapped it around her: "It's about this big... but it should already have a heartbeat."
Duan Changchuan looked at his clenched fist, then at his bulging belly, and couldn't help curling his lips: "It's only this big? What's left in my belly?"
As he spoke, he dragged their clasped hands and placed them on his stomach for comparison.
"Is the rest all my flesh?"
As they were talking, a small bulge suddenly appeared on their stomachs.
Suddenly, the new mother and father said together: !!!
"Sister!" The boy turned around quickly, his beautiful eyes filled with surprise and joy.
Bai Su was no less enthusiastic and hugged him tightly in her arms. After a long while, she whispered in his ear with a trembling voice: "I know... Sister feels it, baby."
The baby moved.
This was the first time the two of them felt the baby's movement.
Previously, they said that they could feel the baby's movements in mid-April, but they never felt it once. Mr. Huang checked the baby's pulse every now and then, and every time he said that the baby was fine and healthy, maybe he was just shy or liked to be quiet. But they still felt uneasy.
In addition to being happy today, I also felt relieved that I had been worried about this matter.
The boy lowered his eyes to look at his bulging belly and gently rubbed his palms on it: "Baby, I'm your daddy."
Then he took Bai Su's hand and placed it on top, saying softly, "This is your mother... Your mother is dignified and beautiful. She is the most beautiful Alpha Dad has ever seen. When you are born in five months, you will be able to see her."
After hearing this unintentional confession, Bai Su felt as if a piece of honey had melted in her heart, making her feel soft and sweet.
She kissed the boy's cheek gently, stroked his belly softly with her palm, and said, "Baby, when you are born, you will see your father. Your father is strong and gentle, upright and kind. He is the most beautiful Omega mother has ever seen. He is the king of this world and will be the best father in the world in the future."
The boy turned around and looked at her seriously with his dark eyes.
Said: "Sister will be the best mother in the world in the future."
He leaned back forward and kissed her gently on the jaw.
The Alpha hugged him tightly in his arms and kissed his slightly open lips.
[Duan Changchuan, you are the best Omega I have ever seen...]
…
-
The night of July 7th, the third day that the Regent was detained in prison, was also the Qiqiao Festival in Datong.
Duan Changchuan and Bai Su were sitting under the grape trellis. The purple grapes were so densely packed that the vines were weighed down.
"On this day, unmarried girls would sit together and pray to the Weaver Girl for dexterity of their fingers."
The young man looked at a bright nebula in the sky and spoke softly.
That is what people often call the Milky Way.
"Baby, have you seen Altair and Vega?"
"I saw it, but I don't know which one is the Cowherd and which one is the Weaver Girl."
"There is a fainter star on each side of Altair, and the other one is Vega."
The young man curved his eyebrows cunningly: "I'm kidding, I've been hanging out with Yun Xie since I was a child, of course I know all these stars."
His nose was pinched and his head was flicked: "You are so brave, huh? You even dare to lie to your Alpha."
The boy smiled and threw himself into her arms: "Of course."
"I love you."
…
It was at this time that news about the Regent came.
Duan Changchuan had clearly guarded the prison like an iron gate, with the gatekeepers being the imperial guards, and there were also ordinary jailers from the secret guards mixed in. Unexpectedly, the news he received was from Duan Qinxue.
The girl said she would stay in the Regent's Palace and serve him, and she really kept her word. She delivered the news to the Regent's Palace on the very night she received the news.
[Before entering the palace, my father had left a message for the staff in the palace, saying that if he could not come out of the palace this time, he would raise an army to rebel in five days. Now my father is in the prison and cannot pass on the message, and my brother is not here. The staff found my mother and Qinxue to discuss, and then they learned that my father had colluded with the general of the enemy country. If this could be accomplished, he would be granted more than ten cities in the small country of Zhang. This matter is serious, and Qinxue tried her best to stop it, but my father had already given the order, and the staff followed my father in everything, so Qinxue was powerless. I sent the news overnight to report to Your Majesty.]
After a few words, Duan Changchuan's face turned pale.
Bai Su quickly stroked him and comforted him: "Don't be angry, be careful not to hurt the baby."
"I originally thought that no matter how incompetent he was, he was still a descendant of the royal family of Datong, and would never do such a traitorous thing! I never expected that he would go to such a level of collaborating with the enemy and betraying his country just for the throne! I was thinking of the fetus in my belly, and I didn't want to stain my hands and this country with blood, so I spared his life for now!"
The boy's eyes were red and bloodshot as he spoke.
Bai Su's face also darkened. She turned around and told the people around her, "Zhang Dehai, go and ask His Majesty's uncle to come in secretly. Changle, send someone to invite Feng Yan and Yun Xie. Jin'er, leave the palace immediately and tell the two masters Qian Zheng to bring the news of the princess and ask the two masters to reply overnight. Be sure to persuade the two seniors not to enter the palace, and do not alert the enemy."
The three of them responded in unison: "Yes."
Then left in a hurry.
Bai Su hugged her baby, patted his head and comforted him: "Okay, okay, don't be angry. It's good to see what kind of person he is as soon as possible. Now we have received the news in advance and saved many people. Otherwise, the soldiers of Zhang country opened the border and came in, and I don't know how many people would die along the way to Shengjing. Killing a great evil person is not called staining blood, it is called offering sacrifice to heaven. Don't be angry, ok? If he wants to die, we will use him as a sacrifice to heaven."
"When I think of this idiot who has held the imperial power for more than ten years, I am filled with fear!"
"I originally thought that there was no difference between him being the emperor and me being the emperor, but I actually asked for death!"
"Why was I so useless in the first place?"
"I am so angry!"
In the end, he even scolded himself.
Bai Su was helpless: "Well, he is so bad, even God must be unable to bear it and dragged us here together. Don't be angry, we are here to save the world, he is a regent, he is not worthy of making you angry. Be good, be good, don't be angry, you will scare the baby."
Fortunately, although the child has the temper of an emperor, he is still an Omega at heart. As soon as Bai Su mentioned the baby, she immediately calmed down.
The boy touched his belly and took several deep breaths.
In the end, he flattened his mouth, buried his head in her arms, and said aggrievedly: "I am still very angry..."
puff…
It's also a matter of laughter and tears.
Helplessly, she lifted the child's head, held the child's chin and kissed him: "Then sister, kiss me? If I kiss you, you won't be angry, huh?"
"Hmm..."
"… good."
Very good.
